# Status

Choose the current state of the thread using the app's existing statuses: Planned, Introduced, Developing, Dormant, Ready For Payoff, Resolved or Abandoned.

Use status to separate threads still creating reader expectation from threads that have already paid off or been deliberately dropped.
